TWO MEDFORD MAIL-TRIBUNE Monday. Oct. 22. 1945 Purdue Bolts To Top of Grid Ladder With Astounding Upset of Ohio State New York, Oct. 22 U.R Boop-poop Purdue rode right up there with the nation's top foot ball teams today after its as tounding upset of Ohio State. Alabama was winning not Jar behind on the whiplash arm of Harry Gilmi'i. Fourteen teams In all remain ed unbeaten and untied as the season rounded out its first month but their number can dwindle sharply this week if the Karnes follow the pattern of last week's upsets in which Ohio State and Georgia, among ethers, bit the dust. Both army and navy face dan gerous opponents. The Cadets play a strong Duke team tnai expects to have key players back in action. Navy plays the red hot Pennsylvania Quakers and the odds will be close. The various sectional races mm WAY Ti Phone 2119 For Towing or Wrecker Service Anywhere Anytime Lewis Super Service shape up as follows: East Army, Navy, Columbia, Holy Cross, Temple, and Penn sylvania all unbeaten and un tied. Columbia sees visions of a roso bowl invitation after its 31 to 0 trour.clng of Colgate but has s"me stiff foes still on the list including Penn. Midwest Purdue and Min nesota both unscathed with the Boilermakers the toast of the Big Ten as a result of their 35 to 13 pasting of Ohio State. Minnesota was only slightly less impressive in disposing of North western. Oklahoma A. & M.. a member of the Big Six confer ence, running independent thrashed Utah to remain unde feated. Oklahoma and Missouri are tied for the Big Six leader ships, but neither has showed impressively outside its own loop. South Alabama towers over the field and if the Crimson Tide gets by Georgia this week it has almost clear sailing to one of the major bowls. Georgia, with Charley Trippl back In the line up, was a big disappointment in a 32 to 0 loss at the hands of Louisiana State but can be ex pected to bounce back against Alabama. Mississippi Stale de feated Maxwell Field to remain In the unbeaten ranks. Southwest Texas Is almost a cinch to repeat as cattle country champion, Texas plays Rice this week and should keep its record spotless. Far West St. Mary's Is the only undefeated team In the sec tion but the Gaels don t come In for Pacific coust conference or Rose Bowl consideration. South ern California still looks the best In the conference and the Trojans' prospects of a third straight trip to Pasadena look bright. Joe Louis Arrives For L. A. Vacation Los Angeles, Oct. 22 U.R In good condition and "glad the deal is set for the Conn fight next June," Heavyweight Cham pion Joe Louis was in Los An geles today for his first visit to the coast since his discharge from the army. The Brown Bomber was dead pan as to his plans except that he la to appear on the Jack Benny show, do some refcreelng and play "a lot of golf" during his two month stay.

Mack Lillard has signed Jack Lipscomb, Pacific Coast junior heavyweight cham pion, to face the hooded head butting artist in the top half of a double main event Thursday night. Lipscomb, one of the most cold-blooded ' and toughest mat men ever to set foot in the Med ford ring, will be given an excel lent chance to halt the Mask's winning streak. Jones, who has offered all sorts of excuses to keep from facing "Old Stoneface," will go against Angclo Martinclli, the Buckeye Blockbuster, in the oth er half of the dual main event. If Jones is looking for set-ups, he will be badly fooled for he draws a formidable foe In Mar tinelll. Joe Lynam, the ever-popular youngster from Redmond who has recently returned after three years In the South Pacific, meets clever Herb Parks in the opener, a match which promises all the speed and color of last week's curtain raiser. CLEVELAND KEEPS New York, Oct. 22 (U.R) The National football league race ap peared today to have evolved In to a two-man affair, with Bob Watcrfield of the Cleveland Rams still slightly ahead of Don Hutson of the Green Bay Packers. Waterfield's superb passing led the Rams to a 41 to 21 vic tory over the hibernating Chi cago Bears yesterday, keeping the undefeated Rams with four straight wins. It was the hap less Bears' fourth defeat. The defending champion Pack ers dampened the champion3hiD enthusiasm of the Boston Yanks with a 38 to 14 decision sparked by Hutson'a fine pass-catching. in oilier games yesterday, the Pittsburgh Steelers broke a 15- game losing streak with a 21 to 7 victory over the New York Giants; Detroit's Lions stayed in the western division chase with a 26 to 0 win over the Chicago Cardinals, and Washington vir tually erased the Philadelphia Eagles' eastern title hopes with a 24 to 14 beating.

Sport Chips by HARRY CHIPMAN Mail Tribune Sports Editor It seems our friends in Klam ath Falls get a kick out of re ferring to the Medford Black Tornado as the black wind or the black breeze. It Is our guess that, after that 51-0 pasting they received Friday night, they will acknowledge that it is a tornado of the first order. Medford dominated the play In almost every department as they amassed a total of 564 net yards from scrimmage snd passes io Klamath's mere 53. Medford chalked up 23 first downs to the Pelicans three. They tried 16 passes, com pleting eight' while Klamath Falls made 13 aerial attempts, completed four and had three intercepted. The Tornado averaged 48.4 yards on kickoffs to 50 by Klum- ath, who kicked off but once. Medford's average kickoff return (one), was 20 yards while Klam ath averaged 22 yards. Al Simp son's boys averaged 33 yards on punts, kicking once, while the Pelicans averaged 31.5 yards. Medford's punt returns were for an average of 9.5 to Klamath's 38 garnered from one return at tempt. Medford drew a total of 75 yards in penalties to the Peli can s 19.5. Medford recovered three Klamath Falls fumbies while the Pelicans failed to grab up a single Medford bobble. There were several fumbles by each team for lhe field was a soggy mass as if it had been deluged by a heavy rain. The track around the field, how ever, produced dust when the sound truck was driven over it. The wet turf failed to de moralize the Tornado although It did hamper Bostwick's long break-away runs but didn't stop the terrific power pro duced by the rampaging Med fords. Klamath Falls had predicted the Grants Pass game would be a "dress rehearsal" for the Med ford contest and we laughed long and loud when the Pelicans wound up on the short side of a 13-12 count. But the Klamath Falls writer who said that knew more of what he was talking about than we figured. It did turn out to be a "dress rehearsal" and when the real thing came along the Pelicans played their part well. Klamath Falls might be able to attribute that humilating 51-0 thrashing to the fact that the Klamath boys were having trouble keeping their pants up. A Klamath writer said earlier in the season that Medford was evi dently running up big scores in an effort to scare the pants off opposition but that Klamath boys would have their pants on when the game started. We suggest Dave Rees give up broadcasting either football games or wrestling matches. Three times during the Klam-Bth-Medford broadcast. Reel said, "Both teams are in the center of the ring." We' pre sume he meant in the center of the field. The Southern Oregon confer ence picture took a change over the week-end although this de partment predicted otherwise. Ashland pulled a belated fourth quarter rally to take a 19-7 de cision over Grants Pass which now makes the Ashland-Medford game here Nov. 12 loom as the contest for the league champion ship. Previously we had pic tured Grants Pass as being the thorn in Medford's side. How ever, figures and comparative scores mean nothing in a ball game and anything can happen before the thing is finally set tled. Medford is now on top of the heap with one conference win and no losses. Grants Pass and Ashland are knotted with a win and a loss and Klamath Falls brings up the rear with a win and a pair of defeats. t Los Angeles,' Oct. 22 (U.R) "Jacky Dcmpscy," champion game cock of the Pacific coast, was in the pound today along with 16 of his pugnacious pen mates, Impounded by sheriff's de puties in breaking up what they called the nation's biggest cock fighting ring. Jack Dcnipsey's gaffs, minia ture boxing gloves, fighting and training accessories were rlso impounded by deputies Cleaning out the alleged "cock walk." Two simultaneous raids by the vice and narcotics detail led by Detective Sgts. L. F. Schaoffe'r and M. W. Kapic netted the 17 birds and the alleged leader of the enterprise, Hugh Perry. Perry was arrested at his Temple City, Calif., home after cocks with trimmed combs were found at his ranch In nearby El Monte, Calif. Trimming the cock's comb In dicates the bird Is a fighter and tne act Is a misdemeanor, inves tigators said. More than 100 other birds were being bred for battle on the Perry ranch, deputies cflid. although the actual matches were held In San Bernardino and Bakersficld, Calif., and in south ern states. Sought in the second raid was Frank Lugo, hunted in Utah on a warrant charging him wih breeding the fighting bantams.

Box 308 STOCKTON, CALIFORNIA IS TRIP By SHARON F..WIGHT Describing his trip from San Francisco to Manila by way of the Marshall Islands, and scenes in the Philippine Islands, Pvt. Sharon F. Wight recently wrote to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Wright, Route 1. Pvt. Wight, who left the United States in August, is en route to Japan. The young man stated that the bay was full of sunken ships, mostly Japanese, and that the countryside around Manila is strewn with wrecked planes. The tin roofs on native houses are full of shell holes, he wrote, and the brick and concrete houses are all badly wrecked. Describing the native villages, Pvt. Wight wrote of the bamboo and grass houses, built five feet off the ground, and commented on the fact that there were no fences to keep stock up. Horses Cute "Their main way of traveling Is a little light two-wheel bug gy," he wrote, "and they use one horse. Their horses sure are cute. They are about the size of a three-weeks old draft colt." The soldier commented on the train coaches, writing "They are real small and made of wood with no windows, just square holes. They look just like the first ones that ever came out." Pvt. Wight stated that the men had nothing to do but just "lay around and sleep" and add ed "we were the first bunch to come over without rifles and we haven't any yet, and I'm glad." "The natives have quite a racket here. There aren't any bananas, cocoanuts or pineapple growing in camp, so the natives sell them over the fence and do they get a good price. Two co coanuts for one peso, or half a dollar to us. Three pesos for a pineapple or a dollar and a half." Pvt. Wight embarked Aug. 18 Notice of Final Settlement NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that P. E.
